In the next few days, the altcoin market is gearing up for a range of major events in the crypto space that could potentially influence price action and market sentiment. Here are just a few major token events to look out for in the week ahead.

From token unlocks to project roadmaps, these altcoins are preparing to unveil a number of highly anticipated announcements that will keep traders on the edge of their seats and watching the charts closely.

Here are a few altcoin announcements to keep an eye on in the following week:

APT: 65m APT unlocked on May 12

A total of 65 million APT (APT) tokens will be unlocked on May 12, according to DropsTab’s token unlock calendar. These tokens are part of the vesting schedule that features a 12-month cliff followed by monthly unlocks over 36 months, with the first six months releasing 11,875,000 APT each.

Analysts warn that the token unlock could exert selling pressure if recipients choose to liquidate tokens, especially given current support around the $6 threshold.

BTC: VanEck’s onchain economy ETF launch on May 14

VanEck’s Onchain Economy ETF, with the ticker NODE, is scheduled to begin trading on May 14, 2025. As the first actively managed ETF focused on the crypto and blockchain sector, it will allocate across stocks of companies involved in digital assets, decentralized infrastructure, and on-chain applications, with up to 25% exposure to crypto-linked ETPs.

The momentum of VanEck’s ETF could further fuel Bitcoin (BTC)’s ongoing rally after it surpassed the $105k mark.

METIS: Andromeda Network Upgrade on May 14

On May 14, Metis will activate its Andromeda Upgrade, the first phase of its “ReGenesis” evolution. This upgrade introduces on-chain fraud proofs and migrates data availability onto Ethereum (ETH) mainnet blobs, enhancing security and decentralization on Metis Layer 2.

The latest Metis upgrade could spark renewed project investments and a 10% to 20% increase in METIS price as developer confidence returns.

Sonic: Big Announcement on May 15

According to a recent post on its official account, EVM-compatible blockchain is planning to make an announcement on May 15. Even though the exact details remain vague, with the post only mentioning the word “Shards,” altcoin community speculation points to one of three scenarios: a strategic alliance with a top DeFi lending protocol, launch of a Layer 2 scaling solution on Sonic (S)’s network, or unveiling of a cross-chain bridge to Ethereum mainnet.

Shards.

Thursday, May 15.

— Sonic Labs (@SonicLabs) May 9, 2025

Regardless of specifics, the altcoin community consensus is that the May 15 reveal will significantly influence both on-chain activity and price action in the days that follow. The token itself has been on a week-long rally, rising by 14.4% since its latest update earlier this month.

STX: sBTC Cap Increase on May 15

On May 15, Stacks (STX) will enact its third sBTC cap increase, raising the total deposit cap from 2,000 BTC up to 5,000 BTC. This move unlocks additional Bitcoin collateral within the Stacks DeFi environment, enabling more users to mint sBTC, which is a Bitcoin-backed ERC-20 token, for decentralized lending and trading.

This expanded liquidity could potentially boost STX demand as developers and LPs seek exposure to native BTC yield.

RESOLV: Registration for airdrop closes on May 16

Resolv’s airdrop registration window opened on May 9 and closes on May 16 at 23:59 UTC. In order to be eligible for the airdrop, users must complete on-chain verification and sign the Airdrop Terms on the official website.

Failure to register by the deadline renders wallets ineligible, with 10% of the total allocation reserved for Season 1 registrants. The upcoming airdrop could potentially attract capital into RESOLV, potentially lifting price by 10% to 15%.

DEAI: Zero1 Labs roadmap release

Zero1 Labs is set to publish its updated technical roadmap for 2025–2026 some time next week, outlining milestones toward its mainnet launch and feature rollouts such as advanced zk-proof integration and cross-chain interoperability.

As DEAI has already rallied nearly 140% over the past month, a successful roadmap launch could drive the token further up by 20% to 30%.

KAITO: Tokenomics upgrade to reward holders

KAITO (KAITO) holders can rejoice as the project has announced a comprehensive tokenomics overhaul set to roll out next week , designed specifically to incentivize “diamond hands.”

Diamond hands refer to holders who maintain their positions through market volatility. With listings confirmed on Binance and OKX post-airdrop, the timing of this tokenomics revamp could be pivotal in sustaining post-listing momentum and strengthen price support.
